NumberFields@Home

Description: NumberFields@home is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in number theory. NumberFields@home searches for fields with special properties. The primary application of this research is in the realm of algebraic number theory. Number theorists can mine the data for interesting patterns to help them formulate conjectures about number fields. Ultimately, this research will lead to a deeper understanding of the profound properties of numbers, the basic building blocks of all mathematics.

Applications: NumberFields@home currently has the following applications. When you participate in NumberFields@home, work for one or more of these applications will be assigned to your computer. The current version of the application will be downloaded to your computer. This happens automatically; you don't have to do anything.
